Tacitus Coin has me going HUH?
« on: April 21, 2008, 07:26:31 pm »
I found this Tacitus online....

The texture has me concerned.  While it is rough in appearance, their appear to be bubbles in the coin... (Most are to the left of the head, while a couple are in the head itself).

I would like opinions...
